A very excellent site that really should be transferred into paper format.

Obviously it would never really happen, but wouldn't it be fun to do a commentary track for the trilogy with us as the commentators?

Warner could foot the bill for a Matrix-Explained convention, get us all in a room and let us go to town talkin' about our favorite topic (the Matrix). It'd be hella fun ...

I found enlightened thinkers such as Mobil_Ave_Neo, Akshat Gupta, intell, Th3 Pat4, CaptPostMod, inevitibility and the venerable Feral Boy (to only name a few). I was hoping they could give me the answers.

Th3 Pat4 guy is it me? Thank you!

I like this idea! But it will never happen

But it would be fun if we made a commentary or something and promote it to Warner or spread it via p2p as the commentary of Matrix - Explained.com forums! But who is gonna talk? How many people? Who will choose them? And who is really interested in that.

Hm, we need 2 or 3 persons for that with interesting ideas / perspectives..

EDIT

Also see this:matrix-explained.com...

It would be interesting if they give us, th3 f4n5 - I'm sorry I mean the fans, the right to speak about their films.

Hey Capt and P4th, you two mamma jammas might be on to something!

I mean that seriously. I mean, we all have takes on the matter but up to this point it has not been compiled as an authoratative manifesto on the topic. Maybe we couldn't do a DVD commentary or even streaming audio (due to costs of bandwith and all) but do you remember back to when the Wachowski brothers did their online viewing/post forum when they responded to e-mail questions about the Matrix while the movie played? Perhaps something like that. I think this is something we should really look into. You have a lot of pointy headed intellectuals like the esteemed Dr. Cornell West (and don't get me wrong, I have the highest regard for the professor) but people like that can sometimes go so far over the head of the average person. Talking about Hegelian dialect and de-limited spirit and the uberman and Cartesian delimma might play well to the cocktail dinner circuit or even individuals like ourselves but the reason that so many people (shall we call them "coppertops"! )
think a lot of us are esoteric --or just borderline weird-is because they're not able to translate the metaphors and concepts in Matrix in a way they can digest. I'm not saying dumb down the story but I don't think it's a bad idea to give people our own take on it and maybe they'll see a little bit better why we give the films the attention that we have. Perhaps we should do away with the notion that we need a doctoral professor to explain the films and just turn in over to laymen like ourselves to do the heavy lifting.

I'm game!

How about you guys?

I think we could do audio. We could set up a conference call over Skype and record it, all starting the DVDs at an agreed synced point. I've got recording software galore.

Then we could put it up as a podcast or as MP3 files for people to check out. I'm not too sure about our conversations being for "laity" though. I think we get pretty complex and out do Wilber and West sometimes around here.

The hardest part would be actually cordinating it all.

I could be the producer, you know.. the Joel Silver guy.

I agree with Capt, it can be done. If you make it I can spread it to the whole web, add it as a link to my signature on different forums, as a download link at downloading forums, make it a torrent and add it to torrent tracking sites, etc.

I get the impression that "Morpheus and the "Trinity" means absolutely nothing.. except that Morpheus lives the trinity of the Being without knowing what he is at the time of experience... He just does what must be done, and it gets doed.. by breathing Life into himself... which is sort of how the "akachic records" work... It gives what is taken, by matching the solution to the need, plus one percent... In other words, Morpheus can't lose, while operating from the flows of what is, as opposed to the natural flows of hell on earth.. in which humanity is dismantling heaven on earth for the building materials to build hell on earth...
My impression on that is that Matrix tries to prove that hell has even infiltrated and surpassed heaven in all capacities...

okay okay but I just had an idea about that. I think it would be great if we avoided the usual DVD commentary motif. I mean ours should be special. For example, I have never heard anyone anywhere do what Mobil_Ave_Neo did when he reworded the Architect's speech to Neo in more layman's terms. I'm not sure if the usual diatribing alongside the DVD would be even fit for us. I mean consider the number of individuals whose insights would be "must reading".
Neo 1, Akshat Gupta (if you can find him), Intell, Inevitibility, Th3 P4th, Feral Boy, CaptPostMod, Hexiditer, Deeindamatrix, Psikeyhackr, (maybe even Knn himself) and there's this smart aleck named Evolusionary .

And that's the SHORT list!

Yes Capt. "Coordination" is indeed at the heart of the matter.

(Hey Capt, it's ironic you would mention Skype at this time. Yahoo News reports it's protocol has been cracked--but I'm sure you already knew this).

That would be an elite group...
But in a forum format, it would be like at a party.. "shotgunning" only those you know, while glancing into the eyes of those you passby the treat...
And then all you would get would be cuds.. and soon you would be back into the peasant threads in search of more stimulus...

Exactly my point. This forum has had so many members that it would be unfeasible and impossible to have everyone in on it. Furthermore I'm sure everyone wouldn't want to be so we would have to restrict it somewhat otherwise the commentaries alone would be enormous and I see no way it could be done.

Then a working solution would be for you to commence a thread in which you are writing a new feature episode for the Matrix series...

If a goof spams it.. simply delete the goof's crap from the thread.. and/or delete the spammer.. and continue on in a creative manner...

I'm seeing it as it's not so much the change of place that will give you what you ask.. as much as it is the content, which might detour and exclude the mindless from pissing in said thread...
